Trifecta Clinical, one of the largest global providers of online
clinical training solutions, recently joined the Board of Directors for
the Asia Training Consortium (ATC). The ATC is a group of pharmaceutical
companies, clinical research organizations and regional associations,
which has pooled resources to deliver quality training courses for the
development of clinical research professionals in the Asia Pac region.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of an organization that is meeting an acute
need in clinical development in Asia,” says Trifecta Clinical CEO Dave
Young. “Our technology and training experience complements the strong
industry partners who make up the ATC.”

There is a great need in this region for additional qualified personnel
in medical research. In China alone, the number of clinical research
associates (professionals who ensure protocols and Good Clinical
Practices are followed in clinical trials) must double every two years
to keep up with demand.

“Trifecta has a track record of effectively delivering clinical training
around the world,” says ATC Board Chairman John Constantine, who also
serves as the Executive Director and Dean of the Merck Polytechnic
Institute. “They have the ability to provide a very quick start-up
program on a platform that the ATC can continue to grow with as we help
meet Asia’s rapidly increasing needs. As a technology company, Trifecta
rounds out our Board’s membership.”

Trifecta has developed an application platform purpose-built for
training and managing clinical research sites. Trifecta will leverage
this expertise for the ATC by providing training to future members of
the clinical research community. Trifecta is also sponsoring a working
group to create an open Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard for
exchanging clinical training information – Clinical Training
Interoperability Open Standard (CTIOS). The creation of this open
standard will allow authorized organizations to easily communicate
training status in compliance with privacy regulations and security best
practices.

“By sponsoring this working group, we hope to serve as a catalyst to
accelerate the vision of the ATC,” says Young. “Once the working group
membership is in place, we will work together to release a draft
standard for comment and evaluation.”

Trifecta joins Covance and Novartis as the three non-permanent member
organizations serving a three-year term. The six permanent member
organizations are Merck, Pfizer, Bayer, RPS, Orchestrall and the
Pan-Asian Clinical Research Association (PACRA).

9th Drug Information Association (DIA) Japan Annual Meeting in Tokyo on
November 19-21 at the Toshi Center Hotel.
